It probably is. According to my internet research, Lauren Faust based Twilight Sparkle on two earlier ponies, Twilight (G1/1983) and Twilight Twinkle (G3/2005), both of which predate the Twilight saga. And I’m guessing that Stephenie Meyer didn’t draw any inspiration for her teen vampire romance novel from a toy line of plastic pastel ponies, so we’re safe…for now.
